trious, honest and upright citizen he made

comfortable home. His faith in the eternal
Goodness ever sustained and gave him peace
with God and good will toward all his fellow
beings. He leaves an aged companion and

Sumner I. Van De Grift, only child of VIM.
of Mr. aud Mrs. Thomas Morgan, was born
in Adrian, Lenawee county, Mich, July %,
1859. His death occurred on Sunday Feb. 6,
1887, after long illness, at the old home
stead of the Morgan family, Manchester,
Mich, where his parents and grandmother
reside. Several years ago, while he was West,
he was taken sick and came home, but it re-
suited in bronchial consumption, which
caused his death. While his friends kindly
cared for him, and in love watched with sad
ness his slow decline and wasting away, yet
for months he had the courage to think and to
feel that some day be would be we'll again. But
at last he realized that this could never come
on the earth; and then with sanity fortitude
he hid within from those he loved, much of
pain and what he knew was the death-angel's
visit. Patiently he waited, and fell asleep at
last in eternal peace by the gates of heavenly
light. A short time before he went away, he
had read in his hearing The first chapter in
"Over the River" and as it was finished he
said, with the calmness of heaven, "That fits
my case exactly" He was a worthy young
man, respected and esteemed by all who
knew him, and the village of Manchester was
hushed with mourning, and its people united
in silent prayer, when it was announced he
was gone, for those who so deeply loved him.
The funeral was held at the family residence
on Tuesday, Feb. 8, at one O'Clock P. NJ. The
attendance was large, and the floral offerir g

For THE UNIvERsALIsr.
JOHN G. c. BRAINARD AND HIS POEM
ON NIAGARA.

A good many years ago, probably ten
or more, when our UNCONVENTIONAL paper
was known as the NeU Covenant instead
of THE UNIvERsALIsT as now, the wOr
thy editor in an article made reference
to Brainard's poem entitled "Niaga-
ra," the beauty of which he remem-
bered, but could not recall the words.
Having copy of the poem in my pos
session L copied it and forwarded it to
the editor who inserted it in the "New
Covenant"
then fully intended to again draw the
book from our village library from
which I had first copied the poem and
copy the circumstances under which it
was written and forward to our worthy
editor, thinking it might afford him pleas
ure I afterward obtained the book and
copied the piece, but various circum-
stances combined prevented my forward
ing it. In the issue of our UNIvERsALIsT
Of Sept 4, 1886, in the article headed mi
sgara Falls" the first part Of the poem
was published, which again brought to
my mind the old association attending it.
and among my papers I find the follow
ing: EXTRACTS copied from 'Recollections
of Lifetime by s. G.Goodrich,' which
I now forward to DR.. Cantwell for use as
he may see fit.

slight alteration would have uttered a
profound truth. She should have said,

slavery, for it puts upon man the respon-
sibility of taking care of himself. II he
goes wrong : why he's damned If a
slave SINS he is only fogged, and gets
over it, and there's an end of it. Now
if could only be fogged, and settle the
matter that way, 1 should be perfectly
happy. But here comes my tormentor.'
The door is now opened and boy with
a tousled head and inky countenance,
enters, saying CURLY Copy, Mr.. Brain
ardp'
"Come in fifteen minuteep says the &C.
itor with a droll mixture of fun and de-
spair.
Brainard makes q few observations,
and sits down at his little pine table
hacked along the edges with many a rest
less penknife. He seemed to notice these
marks, and pausing a moment tells q
story that his brother William used to
tell and makes the application to himself.
Some time passed in similar talk when at
last Brainard turned suddenly, took up
his pen and began to write. Some tweD-
ty minutes passed, when, with radiant
smile on his face, he got up, approached
the fire, and taking the candle to light his
paper, read as follows:
1.-THE FALLS OF NIAGARA"
1.-THE thoughts are strange that crowd into my
brain,
While look upward TO thee. 1t would seem
AS If God poured thee from his hollow hand' |
And hung his bow upon thy awful front;
And spoke in that loud voice which seemed to |
him
Who dwelt in Patmos for his Saviour's sake |
The sound of many waters; and had babe
Thy flood to chronicle the ages back,
And notch his CENTRES in the eternal rocks"
He had hardly done reading, when the
boy came. Brainard handed him the
lines on small scrap of rather coarse
paper-and told him to come again in
half an hour. Before this time had elaps-
ed, he had finished and read me the fol-
lowing stanza:
''Deep calleth unto deep. And what are we
That hear the question of that voice sublime?
OIL what are all the notes that everrung
From wars vain trumpet by thy laundering
side?
Yea, what is all the riot man can make
In his short life to thy unceasing roar?
And yet, bold babbler, what art thou to Him |
Who drowned world, and heap'd the waters
far
Above its loftiest mountains? A light wave,
That breathes and whispers of his Makers |
might"
These lines having been finished |
Brainard left his office and returned to |
Miss Luey's parlor. He seemed utterly
unconscious of what he had done. Brain
ard, had never, as he told me, been with
in less than five hundred miles of the
cataract, nor do believe that when he
went to the office, he had meditated upon
the subject. It was one of those inspira-
tons which come to the poet and often
like the lightning - in the very midst of
clouds and darkness.

What a Comma Did for Geography.

Punctuation is an edged tool, for
skilled workmen. We all have heard
of the lawyer who, compelled to apollo
gize in open court for insulting pro-
fessional brother, said: II called him
scoundrel, it is true; and 1 am sorry
for it." He attended personally to get
ting his apology printed, and next day
it appeared in the papers in this shape
II called him q scoundrel; it is true,
and am sorry for it.
The following very curious case OF
far-reaching results from defective
punctuation is vouched for by the Royal
Geographical Society:
"Manchooria is a paradise on the
borders of China Though a luxurious
and luxuriant land, it has, however,
for years been considered a country OF
ice and snow, and all because its great
mountain is misspelled 'Cha'ng-pai-
shan for Ch'ang-pai-shan.' The latter
is it's real name, and means the long
white mountain'-the white pum;ce-
stone being referred to. Chang, how
ever, means perpetual, and misplacing
the comma, both Chinese and European
geographers concluded that land
with a perpetual white mountain
must be cold and sterile. So they
brought the top of the mountain above
the snow-line, and gave out to the
world that this Garden of Eden was
another Iceland. Such it has been
held for ages"

doubtfully, II reckon. If you mean
